Another morning with very enthoussiastic new birdwatchers

I think the world has two new birdwatchers since today..they were already birdwatchers, only they discovered it today, how fun!
We did go to 3 different spots, higher in the mountains(spot 2) it was rainy, but that started after we saw two american dippers in love and a couple of Quetzales and a nice white throated mountain Gem and a Scintillant Hummingbird and a yellow winged Vireo. Before I showed how does a Quetzal lookalike...because they expected a small bird what is very special to see.
They know now that it is a little bit bigger bird.





Female and male...

Then after that we went to another spot close by with much better weather. (all those micro climates..hallelujah !!)
